Preferentially sends blood to muscle tissue to help with recovery and give a good pump. (NO Boosters).

I used to use convenient powdered pre-workouts like hyper shock (highly recommended) or mesomorph (please don’t use, it was pulled by the FDA because it contained meth-like stimulants). But, these things are just expensive formulations of stimulants and NO Boosters. Its easier to just buy caffeine tablets, L-Arginine, Creatine, and drink beet juice.

Here’s my current pre-workout:

1 cup of cold brew kona coffee (served black over ice).

2.5mg of tadalafil

Coffee is super cheap and effective stimulant and tadalafil is an extremely potent NO booster with minimal side effects. Tadalafil requires a prescription in America, but is a very popular black market drug. You should try to get it legally, but if you can’t, beet juice is a really good alternative.

Improving locker room ux

Has this happened to you?

You just finished your workout and some jerk is blocking your locker because his locker is near yours. Then you have to awkwardly watch him spend ten minutes changing because they don’t teach gym etiquette in asshole school.

Of course it’s happened to you. It’s happened to everyone. It’s mathematically unavoidable if you workout during rush hour.

How do we fix the locker room user experience?

1. Automated Queueing

Lockers are assigned at check-in with generous distribution ensuring people are spaced out when they change.

PROS: No uncomfortable locker room interactions, no waiting for lockers, easy to implement.CONS: Breaks down during rush hour, algorithmic distribution based on average workout time might not work at all.

2. Locker Valet

Similar to clothes check at a sex club, lockers are accessed on demand, letting gym goers pick a place to change once they have their stuff.

If you believe my calves are big now, then yes, they have always been “big” because they haven’t changed much since I started bodybuilding.

Calf size and shape is largely determined by genetics. There is no advice I can give here.

What is a way to tell you are really pushing yourself when you workout? When you keep going that rep when your muscle starts to hurt or tighten, or past that? I ask since am not sure am pushing myself.

Gym sighting: Shower Daddy

Ahh, I’ve missed these. #gym-sighting is an art project where I draw someone I saw while working out, usually accompanied by some erotic fiction.

This beefy fella was in the shower with his gym glove. How could I not draw him?

I’m a little rusty. Forgive me.

Thin. Awkward. Dirt skinned. Heath inhaled sharply. It was as if a lifetime of erotic fantasies involving his exact opposite had manifested into a physical form. There he was, struggling to do bicep curls in the smith machine while wearing jeans, like he’d never been in a gym before.

“Fuck me.” Heath growled to himself, his cock straining against his gym shorts.

The twinkish ingénu sashayed from the gym floor to the locker-room. Heath was in hot pursuit, sniffing the air, following the lingering scent of the boy’s body lotion. It was pina colada.

“The showers. Of course.” Heath kicked off his gym shorts and tanktop in one swift motion. There was no time to put them away in his locker or remove his left gym glove.

The boy was fussing with the shower knob, tweaking it slightly before gingerly testing the temperature with his toe.

Heath sauntered past, taking the next closest shower head with his right hand to adjust the stream for his 6-foot-2-inch frame. He closed his eyes, arched his back, and slowly pushed his meaty rump back like he was offering the kid a couple Christmas hams.

In his erotic fantasies, this is where the cripplingly awkward kid would approach him. Break the silence with his cracking, pre-pubescent voice. Usually a painfully weak pickup line about how he looked like a superhero from his favourite indy comic. The graceless lack of bravado was his kryptonite, stronger than any bondage…it made him powerless, vulnerable, weak.

…And he loved it.

My brother and I lift together, and his biggest complaint about the protein supplements that he used to take is that it felt like more work trying to eat protein, through shakes or bars, than his actual workout. I felt the same, to a lesser degree, until I discovered isopure, in the glass bottle. I mix it a fruit punch flavor of beef protein isolate, which he tried and loved. "It's like drinking a Gatorade, very refreshing!" What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Here we have that same chart I made yesterday, but now the bubbles are colour-coded and sized based on my tasting notes. The smaller and more green the bubble, the worse it tastes. The bigger and more blue the bubble, the better it tastes.

Hey there! Wanted to ask you a quick question in regards to body building / protein powder. My goal (this is Dylan typing) is to get bigger/beefier. I've tried regular whey protein and beef protein powder, and I was curious which you think works better...

What protein works better?

Let’s define “better” as protein that best helps us achieve the goal of gaining muscle mass. We want to get as much protein into our bodies as possible, so we’ll need a protein with high bio-availability that is cheap enough to eat a lot of it.
